ENHANCE failed to meet its primary and secondary endpoints and showed that adding ezetimibe to simvastatin provides no benefit on the treatment of atherosclerosis

CRESTOR has the proven efficacy to lower LDL-C, raise HDL-C, and has been shown to slow the progression of atherosclerosis at any stage of the disease

CRESTOR significantly slowed the progression of atherosclerosis in the METEOR study (which employed very similar methodology to ENHANCE). These results were pivotal to achieving the unique atherosclerosis indication granted by US FDA

Atherosclerosis is the underlying cause of heart disease - the World’s number one killer

Rosuvastatin is the only statin to show regression of coronary atherosclerosis in a major clinical study

In ASTEROID, two imaging modalities that measure different parameters and focus on different segments of the coronary arteries have demonstrated concordant improvements in both IVUS measurements of atheroma volume and angiographic measurements of lumen dimension consistent with regression of atherosclerosis with intensive rosuvastatin therapy

JUPITER – summary and perspectives

The JUPITER study included patients with low to normal LDL-C who were at increased CV risk as identified by elevated CRP levels and who did not require statin treatment based on current treatment guidelines

A 44% reduction in the primary endpoint of major cardiovascular events (composite of: CV death, MI, stroke, unstable angina, arterial revascularisation) was observed in patients who received rosuvastatin 20 mg compared with placebo (p< 0.00001)

A 20% reduction in total mortality was observed in patients who received rosuvastatin 20 mg compared with placebo (p=0.02), a unique finding for statins in a population without established CHD

In JUPITER, long-term treatment with rosuvastatin 20 mg was well tolerated in nearly 9000 study participants

There was no difference between treatment groups for muscle weakness, cancer, haematological disorders, gastrointestinal, hepatic or renal systems

The results from JUPITER highlight the importance of highly effective statin treatment for these patients with an increased risk of CV disease

Nearly 500,000 a million patients in real life, have shown CRESTOR is superior in CV risk reduction as compared to all statins

First statin to show..treating dyslipidemia with Crestor halts the progression of atherosclerosis in low risk patients leading to US FDA approval in atherosclerosis indication

4 out of 5 patients showed coronary plaque regression in patients with

established CHD

First positive outcome on CRESTOR – Study halted

because of unequivocal superiority in cardiovascular

morbidity and mortality
